Taia Alexandria University, Faculty of Science, Botany Department, Alexandria-Egypt ABSTRACT This work deals with the systematic relations of family Papaveraceae according to the new data derivedfrom molecular analysis. Anoverall view has beengiventoelucidate the taxonomic positionof the family withinthe basal eudicots. Characteristic features of all the group has beengivenwithclear view of the general features of the family andits taxonomic divisions. Complete list of the genera, as listedby Royal Botanical Gardens inKew has beenaddedwithsummary of the recent phylogenetic relationships of the family and its genera. Leaf and fruit morphological variations of 14 species belonging to Papaveraceae s.s., 7 species belonging to Fumariaceae s.s. and two species from Hypecoaceae s.s. have been studied to assess the new classification of the Papaveraceae s.l. with complete description of their morphological variations and their position according to the new classificationof the family. Keywords: Eudicots, Magnoliopsida, Papaveraceae, Phylogeny, Ranunculales, Taxonomy. Taxonomic Status of the Papaveraceae s.l. Ranunculaceae , Papaveraceae, Fumariaceae, The status of family Papaveraceae s.l. has been faced Berberidaceae, Menispermaceae , and Aristolochiaceae . with numerous opinions. Before the extensive ribosomal The family is closely related to the Fumariaceae which and DNA sequences researches concerning the often included within it (Norris, 1941, Fohne, 1962, phylogeny of the taxonomic taxa, the family has been Kolbe, 1978, Behnke and Barthlott, 1983 Chase et al., considered by Wettstein (1935) as one of the 1993; Taia and Sheha, 2003). Meanwhile, the family Rhoeadales families. Later, Melchior (1964), Tamura has close affinity to members of Ranunculales with the (1974), Benson (1979) and Tutin et al.

The family was found to be closely related primitive families. Parker (1982) separated the to the Brassicaceae , Capparidaceae , Resedaceae , Papaveraceae as an order Papaverales while the Tovariaceae and Moringaceae (Blagowestschenski, Ranunculaceae as order Ranunculales and both orders 1955, Hegnauer, 1961 and Gershenzon and Mabry, under subclass Magnoliidae , class Magnoliopsida .

They are herbs or sub-shrubs, shrubs, or even small trees ( Dendromegon rigida) , annuals, biennials, or perennials. Plants have tap roots or rhizomes with leafy or naked erect or spreading stems. Leaves are basal and/or cauline, alternate to opposite or whorled, simple ex-stipulate petiolate or sessile with entire blade or lobed in pinnate, subpalmate, or palmate orders of lobes. In Argemone the leaves are dissected with spiny margins. The leaves are mostly glabrous, except few species covered with ramified or glandular hairs with smooth walls. Stomata are either diacytic or anomocytic with isodiametric or elongated epidermal cells (Heywood, 1993). The family has variety of flower arrangements, forms and colors, but all are bracteate, radially symmetric, pedicellate or sessile; receptacle sometimes expanded and forming cup or ring beneath calyx (in Eschscholzia, Figure (1) : Phylogeny of the Ranumculales , showingrelative Meconella and Platystemon) . The flowers are either positions of the major families within this order (Tree solitary or arranged in groups which are either terminal adapted from Hoot et al., 1999). Numbers above lines or axillary. The inflorescences are either cymose or indicate the number of nucleotide changes supportingeach racemose, umbelliform or corymbiform. Flowers are branch. Number below the branches is the percentage of sometimes perigynous; sepals two or three, ob-ovate, times that the branch was recovered in 1000 bootstrap distinct or connate always caducous. Petals are distinct, replications. colored and ob-ovate, usually four or more, sometimes absent. Stamens are numerous in many whorls, Hoot et al. , 1999). Hilu et al. (2003), Kim et al.

    Project: 2003-NPS-305-P Seed Fates of Arctomecon californica By: Laura Megill & Dr. Lawrence Walker University of Nevada, Las Vegas Final Report Clark County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan June 30, 2006 ** A copy of the finished thesis and subsequent publications will be sent upon completion. INTRODUCTION The Las Vegas bearpoppy, Arctomecon californica Torr. and Frem., is a rare herbaceous perennial endemic to the Mojave Desert that mainly inhabits gypsum outcrops. The Las Vegas bearpoppy is listed as Critically Endangered by the State of Nevada (Mistretta et al., 1995). A vital aspect of the life history of the bearpoppy that has been overlooked in previous studies is the fate of seeds. The unknown fate of the bearpoppy seeds provides an information gap in conservation management plans that is critical to plan mitigation measures (Powell and Walker 2003). Therefore, the objective of this research project is to determine the seed fates of the Las Vegas bearpoppy to further promote conservation efforts. The scope of this project follows seed fates through seed production, seed dispersal, and granivory to incorporation within the soil seed bank. In addition, seed viability testing will occur throughout the project to substantiate seed fate data. The research data will be collected from four study areas with an additional area added for soil seed bank studies traversing the natural range of the Las Vegas bearpoppy over a two-year consecutive period. The following hypotheses will be addressed in this research study: (1) Seed production corresponds to capsule size and number of rosettes. (2) Primary seed dispersal declines leptokurtically from the source.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

The herbal extracts have been reported to possess anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antidiarrheal, bronchodilator, hypoglycemic, anthelmintic, laxative, antiprotozoal, dermatological diseases, enhance male fertility and antinociceptive effect. Their biological activity is primarily associated with the presence of alkaloids such as protopine, cryptopine, parfumine, berberine, oxyberberine, fumarine, protocatechuic acid and caffeic acid. Some other bioactive are fatty acids, volatile oils and sesquterpenoids and aromatic hydrocarbons in plant.
